[Intro]
War over me

[Verse 1]
I'm standing on the front lines
I'm fighting for my soul
I've walked a self-destructive
Lonely road
I read the warning signs
But I was to blind too see
I had to feel the pain
Till I believed

[Pre-Chorus]
I have a purpose

[Chorus]
This is war, this is war
Since the day I was born
I would die just to live
Just to bleed
(This is war, this is war, this is war)
I will fight for my life
Turn my darkness to light
This is war, it's a war over me
(War over me)
[Post-Chorus]
War over me
War over me

[Verse 2]
My pity feeds destruction
My hunger turns to greed
But nothing ever fills this
Hole in me
No peace on the horizon
No peace in anything
I had to hurt myself
Till I believed

[Pre-Chorus]
I have a purpose

[Chorus]
This is war, this is war
Since the day I was born
I would die just to live
Just to bleed
(This is war, this is war, this is war)
I will fight for my life
Turn my darkness to light
This is war, it's a war over me
[Bridge]
I'm caught up in the crossfire
I'm caught up in the pain
This gift of desperation
Is exactly what I need
I'm falling like an empire
I'm calling out your name
I'm locked in my own prison
Tell me help is on the way
Tell me help is on the way

[Refrain]
I will fight for this life
Turn my darkness to light
This is war, it's a war over me

[Chorus]
This is war, this is war
Since the day I was born
I would die just to live
Just to bleed
(This is war, this is war, this is war)
I will fight for my life
Turn my darkness to light
This is war, it's a war over me
(War over me)
[Post-Chorus]
This is war, it's a war over me
War over me

[Outro]
I have a purpose
